When you think of the color pink, many things may come to mind. A lonely flower wafting gently in the breeze; a sheet of soft satin; a romantic greeting card signed in cursive script. People around the world hold a universal understanding of what this lighter shade of red can signify, and for centuries it has held a special place in fashion and literature. But you don’t have to associate pink with items that come and go when the seasons change. You can utilize pink blinds when you redesign a room in your home. If you’re wondering how these particular blinds can be used, there are many examples to take under consideration.

The first use for pink blinds that you may wish to think about involves a child’s room – more specifically, a little girl’s room. Many girls love the color pink, and it’s not unusual for a child to ask their parents to incorporate a favorite color into their habitat and personal possessions. You don’t have to limit yourself to sheets on the bed or a stuffed animal on the dresser. You can make her room feel special when you add blinds of the pink variety.

You may also use colored blinds when you have a unique theme in mind for a section of your living space. If your living room has a lot of light colors in it, you can add to the softness of the atmosphere. If you believe that your kitchen needs a feminine touch, pink blinds can be the answer that you seek. Don’t be afraid to experiment and see how you can breathe new life into something you considered out-of-date. It’s a good idea to take the time to look at the overall aesthetic of the space before you make any significant changes.

Did you know that the color pink is used to calm violent inmates in prisons? It’s also not unheard of for a sports team to paint the walls of the locker room for the opposing team with this color. The point meant is that pink brings a sense of tranquility and peace to those exposed to it. You can use this to your advantage. If you want your guests to feel at home, you can use pink blinds in the guest room. If you want your child to unwind from a tantrum, rosy blinds may be just what the doctor ordered. There are countless uses for these decorative blinds – you just have to look for them.

The color pink can show up in unbelievable places, and you can look for it wherever you go. But you don’t have to limit yourself to the odd spotting at the community garden. You can bring pink into your home whenever you wish, and you can do it by using pink blinds. Blinds shade your home and keep your privacy intact – why not add a touch of color in the process?

At Blindsmax we have a generous assortment of colored blinds and our pink mini blinds are a very popular window treatment option.

Is it time to replace the blinds in your home? Are they outdated, old, or simply boring to look at? There are many reasons you might want to replace your blinds and if you are not quite sure yet if it is time to replace them or not, here is a list of 10 reasons why you probably should.

1. They are hard to clean
Those blinds you can never seem to get 100% clean no matter what you do or try… or they simply take forever to clean? Time to replace them with something easier to maintain!

2. They Are Beyond Repair
You know the ones… you used up all the extra slats, they’re warped or simply nonfunctioning, maybe all of the above? Time to get new blinds and save yourself the headaches!

3. They Look Outdated
They remind you of your grannies house… or a tacky set over at your Auntie Joan’s place. Worse… you are afraid they will remind your guests of their grannies place! Time to replace and refresh with a modern and updated look.

4. They Don’t Match Anything Else
Did they look great in the magazine but in place they clash with everything else in the room? It’s time to give them away and choose a better match.

5. They Don’t Fit Properly
You know they should fit right in the window but there is a big gap on the side… or perhaps they are a little too tight and look “forced” to fit? Time to get correctly fitting blinds.

6. They Are Difficult To Operate
You thought the seamless look would be great for that huge picture window… but now you have heavy blinds that are a chore to lift and lower? It is time to find a better lightweight option and make use of that window again.

7. There Are Small Children Around
You or a close family member recently welcomed a bundle of joy and you are worried about the dangers of dangling cords. Your best option is to select a cordless window treatment and eliminate this serious hidden hazard.

8. You Need A Different Type of Blind
Perhaps you work late and you need to nap during daylight hours… or maybe your theatre room needs better light control. No problem… you can choose room-darkening blinds to eliminate most of the light in a room… or you can go with light filtering to make the most of the sunshine.

9. You Have Had These Blinds Forever
You moved in and the blinds were there… you never bothered to replace them. Time to buy blinds that better reflect the class and style of your home.

10. You Just Want Something New
You want new blinds. Well that is a good enough reason for us! Where to find these new blinds you ask? You can find the best prices and selection at Blindsmax.com of course. Make sure to give us a call with any questions or concerns.
